TALC Summer Institute helps education transfer students

The institute is open to students interested in joining the TALC
program, new and community college transfer students who want to get a
quick introduction to the UTSA community and students preparing
to take the Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) exam. TALC Summer Institute
sessions include a bridging institute, a math workshop and a reading workshop.
Students can sign up for one, two or three sessions.

The Bridging Institute, which seeks to ease the transition for incoming
UTSA College of Education and Human Development (COHED) students, will feature
speakers from various UTSA offices including the Tomas Rivera Center for
Student Success, career services, admissions and scholarships.

Both THEA sessions are designed to help COHED and education transfer students
comply with teacher certification requirements. UTSA professors will teach
the math and writing workshops.

TALC was established to provide students with an opportunity to work with
other students with similar academic interests and have made a decision to
tackle barriers that may prevent them from completing their degree. The programs
established and implemented through TALC help students maintain a strong
academic performance as they confront the challenges of university life and
persist through degree completion.
